Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:44975
• Parent Cell Line: R1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A PKC-neo cassette was used to replace exon 5, which contains the translation initiation site and the entire coding sequence. Northern analysis of RNA isolated from the liver, brain, and kidney of homozygous mutant mice revealed an absence of message. (J:44975)
